12:00 AM, 19-MARCH-07 Marsters Fans Get Boxed In Fans of James Marsters, the former co-star of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, have gotten their knickers in a twist with the "Boxer Rebellion," a mail-in campaign to push for the theatrical release of his latest movie, Shadow Puppets. The gimmick: Fans have mailed in more than 100 pairs of boxer shorts (new, clean ones), a reference both to a scene in the film in which Marsters strips down to his skivvies and to a bit of Buffy trivia that Marsters' character, the vampire Spike, killed a Slayer in China during the Boxer Rebellion. Michael Winnick, the writer/director of Shadow Puppets, told SCI FI Wire that Shoreline Entertainment, which produced the movie, has received more than 100 pairs of boxers, which are being donated to charity. "I'm still not quite sure how it got started," Winnick said in an interview. "There's a scene in the film where the characters are stripped down to their boxers. James Marsters fans got a kick out of seeing this in the stills and have taken that to a whole new level." This boxer campaign originated on several Marsters fan Web sites, including Marsters Mobsters, and was also mentioned in a recent issue of Titan's official Buffy fan magazine. "The fan support has been wonderful," Winnick said. "It's really taken on a life of its own, which is always interesting to see." Shadow Puppets, a psychological horror movie, tells the story of eight people who wake up in a government facility without any memory of who they are. As they try to take sense of things, their shadows come alive and try to destroy them. The film also stars Tony Todd and Jolene Blalock. —Kurt Anthony Krug

EFM: Michael Winnick's SHADOW PUPPETS
Distribution rights for Michael Winnick's Shadow Puppets are being offered for sale by Shoreline Entertainment Inc. at this year's European Film Market (EFM) in Berlin, Germany. As was previously reported here and there on Twitch, the screenplay for Shadow Puppets was written by Winnick. According to the Internet Movie Database (IMDb), the movie stars Jolene Blalock as Kate, Tony Todd as Steve, James Marsters as Jack, Marc Winnick as Charlie, Natasha Alam as Amber, Diahnna Nicole Baxter as Stacy, Richard Whiten as Dave, and Jenni Ford as Melissa. Here's a synopsis for Shadow Puppets from Shoreline Entertainment's website: "Eight people awake in an abandoned asylum without any previous memories of their whereabouts. They soon discover they were subjects of an experiment gone haywire. The experiment was intended to erase bad memories, but accidentally released a monstrous, blood-thirsty entity within the asylum. As they piece together their memories, a vicious Shadow Creature stalks them, threatening their lives from the darkness."

I know you quit smoking now, but when did you first start and why?
I noticed that you play a right-handed guitar although you are left-handed. I am guessing that you were taught that way but I wanted to know if you have ever tried to play left-handed and to what result?
How was it acting against Michael Rosenbaum? I can sincerely say that you had brilliant performances against several actors, but I could literally feel you two push the other's performance higher with some inner will you both seemed to have. Did they feel like any normal scene you've ever done, or was there something different?
If you had to live without one of your five senses, which one would you be able to "give up"? And which one would be totally indispensable?
Is there any mystery or question that you have wanted to have explained or answered?
Why Chekhov? What about his work appeals to you?
If you could record a song with any other artist/band who would it be and why?
What annoys you most about other drivers?
Next session: March 15
